Who else has siblings?? Tell us some funny/cute stories cause we love sweet siblings on this channel!!
I have a lil bro. He's 15 and going through an ''ironic sexism'' phase so cute interactions between us are thin on the ground 😅 we had plenty of cute interactions when we were younger though LOL. I vividly remember my Mum coming home from the hospital with him, I ran out the house to meet him and screamed 'HE'S SO CUTE!'
I have two younger sisters and this is our favorite Disney movie. We’ve watched this movie together so many times that we will randomly quote it all the time to each other and sometimes just end up reciting the whole movie lol. I’m so glad you guys are reacting to this!
I don’t have siblings, but I wish I did have one .
My youngest son was in hospital with pneumonia last month for two weeks, my eldest went to school everyday and stayed at a grandparents when we had to go to a specialist hospital 2 hours away. He stayed so strong until Charlie came home and he burst into tears hugging him so tight because he was so worried about him 💜
Im the youngest of my mum’s kids. 15 years younger than my sister and 10 years younger than my brother.
When I was 3 I thought my sister’s name was ‘Yeah-Yeah’ because that’s what everyone said to her. So I started calling her ‘Yeah-Yeah’ and she got me a teddy bear (I still have on my bed) called Yeah-Yeah Bear. Yes I’m a 26 year old man… if I call her Yeah-Yeah she responds with “What do you want now?” 😂 I’m going to share your Christmas playlist with her because she’s the Christmas fan. I’m more of a Halloween boy myself.
My brother lives and works in the area of the UK one of my favourite kids book series is set, The Famous Five by Enid Blyton, he works on a boat doing tours that go to those areas and he spent his day off showing me where they filmed the 90’s tv adaptation and because he knows all sorts of local history because of his job on the boat he told me so much about the area and the books. He also introduced me to Star Wars A New Hope which was cool of him.
I liked how they addressed how Nani and Lilo are still grieving the recent loss of their parents, with Lilo even saying "I liked you better as a sister than a Mom."
the screenwriters originally wanted to write Nani as a single mom who had Lilo young out of wedlock but Disney didn't think that idea would fly well with their target audiance.
That kills me every time.
@@theawesomeman9821 Didn't know that, interesting 🤔.
Fun fact: in the older Hawaiian dialect Lilo is "lost" while Stitch tends to mean "repaired". So in reality the title of the movie means "Lost and back together".
Okay, you just got me in the feels. 😐
Why name your child lost
@@Ephemerthefish2525 read the comment again
It's also been theorized that Lilo and Nani's names come from the last reigning queen of Hawaii. Her name was Queen Liliuokalani, and their names come from LIL-iuokal-ANI for LILo and nANI respectively. The Queen wrote the song Aloha 'Oe as a farewell to Hawaii when it was colonized and she was dethroned and placed on house arrest in her palace, where she passed away. Nani sings Aloha 'Oe to Lilo on the hammock the night before Mr. Bubbles was to come take Lilo away.
@@Ephemerthefish2525 it also means generious
Maybe this is just being an older brother but the more I've watched this movie the more I see just how much Nani had to give up. Not only did she also have to compartmentalize her own mourning and grief related to her parents passing but when you look around the room she has you can see things like her surfing trophies and how she seemingly was about to start on her own life as an athlete and now is a mother figure that barely has it together because she really doesn't know how to do things. Truly THE BEST sister story about mourning for me that Disney has ever produced.
Very interesting detail I never noticed. This story is richer the deep you go into it 🤔.
Unfortunately, that's often times what happens when older siblings are forced to be put into a position of guardian early on. All that potential that they might have had has to get put on the back burner for their family. It sucks and it really isn't fair.
dark fact: in the extended version Lilo tells that the day her parents died in the traffic accident caused by bad weather was the only time that Lilo previously forgot to feed the fish. Since then Lilo blames herself for the death of her parents and feeds the fish at the expense of her own happiness to prevent someone from suffering like her again.
Oh fuck.
That’s why you see Pudge the fish with a sandwich in his mouth in the beginning before she comes out of the water because she has to feed him
My favorite part about this movie is that Bubbles is not a secondary antagonist. It happens so often that social workers are painted as the bad guy, but Bubbles genuinely wanted what was best for Lilo even if it meant taking her away. I also love how well this movie nails hawaiian culture mostly because the director lived there for years if I recall.
I love it even as a kid. There are so many details in this movie that you realize as you get older.
Fully agree. This is a bad situation all around and Nani IS trying, but she desperately needs support, and the system is just not set up to give her that support outside of taking Lilo away.
I love the fact that she got all the support in the end she got bubbles and jumba
Yes! At 7:48 you’re right! She’s an islander treated like the outsider. I remember there was a whole Twitter thread about a year ago talking about how Lilo had a wall of pictures of tourists and that guy with the ice cream she took a pic of too. A lot of native Hawaiian’s said they remember being little kids and tourists would take pictures of them and act like they were props. So Lilo is switching that up😂 And the guy that made this movie recently spoke up about how this is a movie about sisters, that Frozen wasn’t the first to be a sister movie, which it kept getting credited as. This movie is often overlooked.
That’s interesting. My mom was raised in Hawaii but didn’t look native snd she got the other end of that. All the natives would call em howlies cause they weren’t real Hawaiibans so that’s why it surprised me
@@whitenoisereacts yup, a lot of people can be like that too in many cultures. Same with being a lighter Latino. My sister seems to be treated the way your mom was. I’m very dark and have native features but my sister came out really light and some people don’t consider her a “real Mexican”. But some people here in south Texas have told her she isn’t really American. Like in the movie Selena “We have to be more Mexican than the Mexicans and more American than the Americans, both at the same time! It's exhausting!”. Fitting in is hard when you look a certain way, even with your own family and culture. But yeah, I can definitely see tourists taking pics of Hawaiian children as if they were part of the scenery. A girl I personally knew in high school went to California on a band competition trip and got up in some black peoples faces to take pictures of them because she had never seen a black person. I grew up in rural south Texas with 78 Latino classmates and she was one of the 2 white classmates I had. No black students, Asians, any other cultures at all. She was really out of touch💀 I hadn’t met friends of other races until college but I knew how to act, she was just super sheltered. She’s definitely changed and grown up and is a really nice teacher now, but her reaction shocked me even then.
I keep seeing memes that disprove everything Frozen gets credited with.
Not just the “first sister movie” but not needing a love interest which was Brave and being a warrior: Mulan.
And they credited Malificient as the first (that they recall) of true love not having to be romance related which Frozen also gets credited with.
I know David technically is not a Disney prince, but he's definitely the best Disney man
Honestly glad he and Nani got together takes a real guy to not only look past the excess “baggage” but really wanted to help them just because he genuinely wanted them to be happy above everything else
He may not be a prince but he is a _king_ 👑😎
In Nani's room, you can see that she has trophies for surfing, indicating that she had to put her dreams on hold to raise Lilo.
That’s why she’s the older best sister ever
You can also tell when they go surfing she’s able to surf with both of them on there
The reason Lilo gives Pudge a sandwich is as she believes controls the weather and her parents died in a storm so she thinks if gives the fish a sandwich then bad weather won’t happen to cause anyone else to lose someone.
Also if you look in the background of Nani's room you will not only see a Mulan posted, but many surfing trophies and she gave it all up to raise Lilo.
Which going into the next point when they first showed the film to test audiences they were confused thinking Nani was Lilo's mom so to clarify this they have the word "Sister" said many times throughout the film.
Lastly some Disney film recommendations I have very few people have reacted to include:
The Rocketeer,
Sister Act (1 & 2),
Something Wicked This Way Comes,
And Bedknobs and Broomsticks
i love Something Wicked This Way Comes! It's wonderful and I've never seen any reactions to it.
Oh, yes! Bedknobs and broomsticks was one of my favourites growing up!
Found out the Pudge the fish meaning years after this movie came out, devastating 😭
So an artstyle note, The background artists used a real watercolor backdrop instead of digital simulated watercolor backdrops. Also, Chris Sanders, the director made sure that the artists who drew the Hawaiian dance moves were strictly following the actual choreography of the movements due to the hawaiian heritage of the meaning of specific movements.
Real old school Disney.
I've seen parts of a documentary about the making of the movie online, Sanders took the animators to the hula kahiko studio of Mark Keali'i Ho'omalu, who also provided those two songs (He Mele No Lilo, and Hawaiian Rollercoaster Ride). There's footage of them watching and sketching big group choreographies to his songs, and the dancers are dressed a lot like those in the final movie version (especially with the ti leaf skirts, very traditional hula kahiko). I don't *think* those dances were rotoscoped at all? I feel like they just did a lot of live studies from the dancers (but I could be misremembering that). I wonder if that documentary is on TH-cam? Searching for that guy's name (Ho'omalu I mean) and this movie might turn it up.
Damn, they sure did put a lot of effort into this film.
the song nani sings to lilo on the hammock was written by queen lili'uokalani (the last hawaiian monarch). queen lili'uokalani wrote this song as an apology and a farewell to her people when she had to forcefully sign away hawai'i to the united states. i really wish hawaiian history was taught in schools just so people can be more educated on how hawai'i became the 50th state
"I remember everyone that leaves." is the most heartbreaking line in this movie in my opinion.
If you look it up, there's a deleted scene that deals with the racism Lilo deals with as a Hawaiian native in a tourism hotspot. One of the tourists actually calls her "a REAL native!" and takes a picture of her. Lilo, to an extent, fights back by taking her own pictures of fat tourists. You'll also notice that Nani looks at a lot of job opportunities that either deal directly with tourists (hotel) or rely on tourism to be successful (coffeeshop and lifeguarding). I don't want to assume, but I'm pretty sure the job she ends up getting at the general store belongs to another Hawaiian native.
Also, the climax of the movie originally had Jumba and Pleakly hijacking a passenger plane to rescue Lilo, instead of using their own spaceship. However, 9/11 happened, and they had to change it. Looking at the deleted scene, it was a warranted change.
I'm sure Hawaii was totally peaceful before evil whitey got there 🙃
I remember that deleted scene. Lilo manipulates the ignorant tourists into running away from the beach by tricking them into thinking that a tsunami is on the way, and as everybody's losing their minds, Cobra shows up, obviously calm as ever, and Lilo looks at him and says "if you lived here, you'd understand." Another perfect example of how Lilo is way more intelligent than what her age displays.
I know we don’t really talk about this, but to this day it still amazes me how they made one little alien look incredibly destructive, threatening and savage, but at the same time super cute. Like you said, his black eyes (which is usually a way to suppress any emotion) just make him even more adorable. Like Toothless in How to Train your Dragon.
Seeing how Chris Sanders did both this and HTTYD...
Another interesting change they did, was that early on they had a typical scrawny social worker, but they realized that Lilo would just steam roll him. So they came up with Cobra Bubbles as a the imposing wall of a ex-CIA social worker that Lilo couldn't break.
A cultural tidbit, Lilo (and Nani and David) was being ostracized due to the racism that the native Hawaiian people experience from the caucasian hued residents who often have more money and [stolen] land than the native people (it's a pretty ugly situation IRL) Mertle Evans, the ginger-haired girl is from a family who owns a resort in the tourist industry so there is a deep tension between Lilo and Mertle even if either of them don't know exactly why. (EDIT: I guess you might already know that since you have family from there.)
The story HAD to be located in Hawaii as it gave Stitch clear boundaries, so that he couldn't just simply cycle to New York City or the real San Francisco. Stitch and water don't mix, he'll drown.
A cultural tidbit, I had a friend who went to high school in Hawaii back in the sixties. He had a pretty hard time because of all the native Hawaiians wanting to beat up on the haole.
@@paintedjaguar yeah, funny how stuff like that conveniently gets swept under the rug
@@DiggitySlice As a kid, I lived in Hawaii myself for several years. There has always been mixing of the various ethnicities there, but of course also friction. Somehow one doesn't hear criticism of the large number of Asian immigrants, particularly the Japanese, who also displaced native Hawaiians.
Truly heartbreaking that Nani at only nineteen had to give up on her dreams as a professional surfer to raise her sister. You can see all of the trophies in her room, and with the Mulan movie poster over her bed it truly tells you what type of person she is, but you know she'd do anything for Lilo, it's just still so sad that she had to... That said, I love this movie and the hand drawn background with the animation! =D
Saddest thing someone pointed out. The reason Lilo is so intense about feeding her weather controlling fish pudge is because her parents car accident was during a storm. It's one of her coping methods
Fun Facts: Stitch himself is voiced by Chris Sanders, one of the movie's two directors
Lilo is voiced by the same actress who does Chihiro in the English Dub of *Spirited Away*
The chase scene to save Lilo from Gantu was originally set in a city area, but was changed to mountains after the 9/11 attacks.
There are A LOT of Easter eggs in this movie:
Lilo has a plush of Dumbo
Nani has a poster of Mulan in her room
There are various hidden Mickeys
The license plate on the firetruck is A113
Chris Sanders also created the How to Train Your Dragon movies after leaving Disney, and designed Toothless
What’s the meaning of the license plate?
@@leeloo2071 Number of the animation classroom in California Institute of the Arts, its a running theme in a bunch of animated movies.
@@leeloo2071 A113 refers to the classroom at the California Institue of the Arts used by graphic design and character animation students.
Brad Bird, Tim Burton & John Lasseter are all examples
My preferred piece of Lilo voice actor trivia is that she played the little girl in The Ring the same year. Such iconic roles at such opposite ends of the emotional spectrum.
I’m sure someone else said this, but Nani has surfing trophy’s in her room, it’s like her true passion. But Ohana, family comes first.
One thing that I question about this movie…
Is the fact that the pet shop owner thought Stitch was dead. So she decided
To put him.. with the other dogs 😳
"You would think they'd be out of place as opposed to her".
There's a deleted scene that explicitly spells out why you got that feeling. That visitors in tourist heavy areas tend to exoticize non-white locals, making them feel out of place in their own home. Though, I feel they do a pretty great job conveying that throughout the film regardless of that scene being cut.
This movie is an absolute gem. It has a way of hitting you right in the back of the throat. Especially when Nani sings Aloha Oe, originally sung by Queen Lili'ukalani, the last monarch of Hawai'i about it's annexation to the US. Nani sings this literally before an agent of the United States comes to take her sister away. Gets me every time.
I love how this movie touches upon tourism and how western powers took over Hawaii to aid the storytelling while also keeping it centered on the main plot and not leaning into it too heavily. You don’t notice it when you’re younger but when you’re older….
I wonder how long Stitch had been alive before he was judged and going to be banished? When I think about it, a being that was likely in their toddler stage at best, his behavior seemed completely understandable. Just because he was born with a super computer type brain didn't mean he automatically knew how to socialize or anything. I think it's why he changed so quickly with Lilo too. He finally had someone taking the time to teach him even if Lilo is also obviously struggling to learn how to interact with others too.
In the sequel he had just been born when Jumba was arrested.
@@forestcatkay14 Makes you wonder where he picked up the naughty language he used when the councilwoman asked for some sign that there was good in him 😆 Shame on the guards for not watching their language around the little angel
@@DarkInSunlight well considering how one of the guards had to remind Gantu he was on duty which implies that he is known to be violent when off duty. It is possible stitch heard and possibly even saw a lot before the council meeting.
@@forestcatkay14 It just occured to me that with his super hearing, he probably heard more than they'll ever know.
@@DarkInSunlight oh that could be bad. He may hear the volcano bubbling and rumbling below. Hopefully he can control his hearing and even better he isn’t in a loud large city.
2 facts about Lilo:
Lilo and Nani's parents died during a flash flood, that's why she feeds Pudge the fish "He controls the weather".
Lilo takes photos of vacationers because she was used to them taking photos of her for being a native.
There's something about the sense of gravity and weight in this movie. I don't know anything about animation, but when I think of this movie I think about the very stompy way Nani runs, and all the characters stocky heavy limbs, and when they hold Stitch you can tell he's super heavy for his size. I can't explain what it is about it, but everything feels very dense and fleshy.
What I love about this movie is that it really has no villain. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE villains! But here, it would've been easy to make Gantu, Jumba or Bubbles the villains, but they don't.
Bubbles and Gantu are just doing their jobs.
Despite calling himself an "evil genius", Jumba's actually not that bad of a guy.
Gantu is the villain in the series
@@morgancross7715 He's more like an antagonist than a villain, while also not really being one at the same time. He was just following a direct order from his leader. And as Bubbles said, "aliens are all about rules," so I've always thought of Gantu as someone who is just very traditional and possesses a strong sense of justice.
@@RENwood4 o ok it’s been a while since I seen the series
@@morgancross7715 your not entirely wrong after the initial movie going into the series Gantu was no longer working for the alien version of law enforcement he was fired so he defected and was more the lackey for the true villain which was dr. hamsterviel (sp?) but he was the only “villain” that’s actively trying to capture the other experiments.
Kauaʻi is my home island. Hanapēpē (the town it's set in/somewhat featured) has a mural now dedicated to the movie. When this movie came out & we found that out, many of us locals were interested to see how they would interpret our local lifestyle(s), culture, etc.
The story is beautiful & touching. It does get the jist of the concept of "Ohana". I can't take any of that away.
It never was supposed to be a true life depiction & it definitely was never meant to be social commentary about local/hawaiian life, as such it glosses over alot of things locals feel towards tourists & the tourist industry, etc. But you get some of it with Nani at her Luau job.
& Bubbles technically doesn't stick out. Most social workers are mainlanders/haoles & dress like that. You see it more on Oʻahu, Maui & Big Isle.
23:27 i havent seen anyone comment this yet but the song nani sings is hugely symbolic of whats happening to nani and lilo. Aloha oe was written and sung by hawaiis last monarch and translates to "farewell to thee" and was about how she was taken from her homeland when hawaii was colonized by the usa and forced to be a state.
So nani is singing farewell to thee as her sister is to be taken away by usa government agency. The poetic cinema of it all
They also had Lilo taking those photos of people to mock how tourists treat native Hawaiians; like exotic creatures and not actual human beings.
I still remember when some tourists did that to me when I’m not even Native, I’m as Japanese as they were lol
On the subject of the giant red space ship that Jumba chases Gantu with in the finale, the reason it has jet turbines is because originally the sequence featured Stitch hijacking a passenger jet from Honolulu airport, and using that to chase Gantu. And the mountains they chase him through, were originally buildings. The sequence was almost completely finished, and can be found online pretty easily (search '747 sequence'). But right around when the movie was supposed to come out, 9/11 happened. So they were forced to go back and completely redo the entire sequence. To save time, they designed Jumba's ship to be very similar to the passenger jet, so they could reuse as much animation of the main characters inside the ship as possible. They had to trim some shots out, since they couldn't repurpose them. But most of the sequence was salvaged.
Some of the cut scenes include Pleakley on a telephone talking to the airline about luggage, Pleakley with the emergency oxygen mask on, and Stitch & Jumba doing this big countdown before Stitch launches himself out the emergency exit door.
Definitely recommend looking it up. It's a piece of the film's history that I don't think Disney want's to acknowledge anymore, but it very clearly involved a ton of work to make, only for it to be scrapped and repurposed because of an unfortunate event that was completely beyond the film crew's control.
I’m pretty sure this is also why earlier when Lilo & Stitch are on the trike, she says it’s nice to be on an island with no large cities. Yes, it foils Stitch’s destructive nature but also explains why they later run into mountains than the skyscraper-type buildings originally intended.
I love Stitch's speech to the Grand Councilwoman: "This....is my family. I found it all....on....my own. It's little and broken. But still good. Yeah, still good."
I love this movie! I remember when it came out that it was a break-thru for more realistic body images. Even though they're cartoons, they're not all thin with perky little noses. Every one has different body shapes. And, we adore Stitch!
In the beginning at Lilo's dance class, to animated the dancers correctly they shot footage of actual hula dancers performing this routine and either rotoscoped them or just used it as reference. There's videos of the original footage on youtube that they used to animate it :)
I loved this movie a lot as a kid despite not having any siblings. However, this movie was how I discovered Elvis. I could also relate to Lilo because I was also a quirky kid. To this day, I still love sci-fi too.
Sometimes I wish I was an only child. Siblings, especially little siblings are SO annoying and add unneeded anxiety to my life
Fun fact: they created a tv series of this movie as well as sequels that expand on the stories of the experiments
The tv series was created after the second movie
And there is a stitch movie that goes into the tv series
@@jacobcurry1866 The TV show started in 2003, one year after the original movie. The sequel was made in 2005.
This movie is definitely underrated
I remember watching the advertisements and different stuff on zoog Disney. They talked a lot about the style of animation and choir used to sing the main song.
This movie is probably tue most accurate representation of normal people Disney has ever done. Two normal siblings who are dealing with a very real situation while also having to deal with this alien that they end up with. I like how it’s not really making anybody the villain. It’s just people with different perspectives on a situation.
Mr Bubbles is just doing his job. He cares about Lilo’s wellbeing, and he knows that Nani is doing what she can, but sometimes “all you can do” still isn’t enough.
The professor isn’t really a villain. He just created this creature and he’s tasked with getting it back. A villain would’ve gotten rid of Pleakly and taken off.
The place where Lilo was hiding from Nani with the pizza box, in the original release she hid in a washing machine but they changed it in future versions because they were worried kids would hide in washing machines
They also changed the ship crash scene after 9/11. It was originally an airplane flying through a city but they changed it to a ship flying through mountainous areas. You can see how the ship Stitch was flying looks similar to an airplane
I have two younger sisters and this is our favorite Disney movie. We’ve watched this movie together so many times that we will randomly quote it all the time to each other and sometimes just end up reciting the whole movie lol. I’m so glad you guys are reacting to this!
I'm so happy you reacted to this movie as it is probably my favorite Disney movie of all time!! Since you asked for some funny/cute stories with siblings, I'll have you know I am the eldest of 5 siblings, so I like to say I have had a hand in raising all of them. Therefore, I have a story for each of them. *A lot of oversharing below*
My first sibling (who I've mentioned a few times in comments, also named James, currently 18; he watched The Blair Witch Project with me) put up with so much bossiness from me when we were growing up. When I was 7 and he was 5, I enjoyed playing dress-up and he would be so patient as I put him in Disney princess dresses and put kid makeup on him. We have several photos of him posing with me in a sparkly blue dress (Little Mermaid) wearing a giant sun hat and a pair of tights over his head so the legs could be twisted together to look like a braid.
My second sibling (my first sister, who I mentioned in my comment on Pan's Labyrinth, currently 15) is whip-smart and very sassy. I wondered out loud the other day if Amazon delivery was having a worker shortage because the past few packages had been delivered with the local mail service. She piped up "a lot of things have been having shortages...like Katherine." For reference I am 5'2" and she's 5'5".
My third sibling (my second sister, currently 12) loves to do everything with me but is also extremely modest and hates it when people around her don't dress to her standards. We were going to the pool yesterday and I was walking around in my swimsuit (a one-piece with a pretty low neckline) and a pair of shorts. Before we left the house, she came downstairs with a bundle of clothes in her arms, threw them at me, and said "PUT A SHIRT ON!" It turned out she had gone through my room and got every single shirt I owned. I thought it was hilarious, but Mom was mad and made her put everything back.
My youngest sibling is 10 years younger than me and has reached the "I am right about everything" stage...also known as the "sucks to be you" stage. I tried to do a flip off of the diving board yesterday (I'm not very acrobatic) and I landed on my stomach. When I pulled myself out of the pool he was standing along the side, hands on his hips. He gestured at my body, which was bright red from the impact, and said "sucks to be you, Katherine." He then got in trouble with the lifeguard because he tried to run away from me...because I may have threatened to put him in a headlock. He was told to sit out of the pool for 30 minutes because he then argued with the lifeguard about the running (he claimed he wasn't actually running, but speed-walking). Mom was not impressed.
Katherine, THIS IS NOT OVERSHARING. This is super cute and I think u should tell more people lol
So here's your daily fun fact. the name "Lilo" can be translated as "Lost". So the name Lilo and Stitch can literally be interpreted to mean "Lost and Stitched back together". This symbolises Stitch's role as the one who helps save this struggling family.
Also someone's probably already mentioned this - but the reason Lilo obsessively gives Pudge the fish sandwiches is because she thinks he controls the weather, and her parents died in a storm. She's trying to appease the weather "god" so that it never happens again. Which just makes it so sad.
Also as an older sister (who also kinda had to fill that role of parent, but not as literally and for very different reasons), the relationship is spot on. They really nail that sisterly dynamic lol. That's exactly what it's like.
12:21 A fun little thing I like that not a lot of people seem to mention is the fact that, throughout this sequence, Stitch keeps pulling out more and more guns.
Lmao!!! That’s true!!
Fun fact about Nani is that in her room she had a lot of trophies for surfing. She was an accomplished surfer but she gave it all up to take care of Lilo.
the relationships between the characters are the best part. this was my favorite movie as a kid and I loved that they showed the difficulty it is for Nani to find a balance between the sister role and having to play a mother figure. I also loved that Lilo related to stich in that they are not bad but the situation they were given is sometimes hard to handle so they act out. Lilo gave stich more grace cause she knows how it feels to be alienated. Lilo, Nani, and Stitch are the most loving complex characters and make a great family unit.
This movie was one of my favorites growing up, it still makes me cry. I made my grandpa watch it with me all the time, and now he jokes about how he saw it about 188 times and regrets nothing haha. I have this movie so dearly in my heart
6:45 not a single thought behind Mrtyle's eyes
I love how they break the movies down, even the cartoons. They make their analysis feel really serious, cartoon or not. Good job, you guys! 👍🏾
So as an adult I find the scene where Lilo freaks out of the sandwich hilarious. Mostly because as a kid you think it makes sense not to feed a fish tuna, but in reality it wouldn't have been a problem. If you know nature you know most fish are omnivorous aka eat both plants and meat. On top of that most fish have no qualms with eating their own kind (At least the none poisonous ones) so Pudge probably would have actually liked the tuna sandwich if we're being honest. lol XD
Also a fun detail is the fact Jumba recognized Elvis' music. I'm pretty sure it's in reference to the conspiracy theory that Elvis is an alien or was abducted by aliens rather an actually being dead. XD
This movie is phenomenal, im so glad you’re reacting to it
Another one of my favorite Disney movies. Perfectly nails sibling relationships, it's really funny, the music is fantastic, and it's just one of those movies I find myself constantly rewatching.
Lilo and Stitch is truly a gem in a class of its own. It is completely its own standard. Beautiful movie with a fantastic story.
In relation to the animation, I like how well they gave certain characters and objects weight. Like, we know that Stitch is super dense from the beginning which is why he sinks in water. Whenever someone picks Stitch up, you can really feel just how heavy he is despite his small size
Nine-tailed Brush: "What is that big shark thing?"
Me: "He's Samoan."
"Lilo & Stitch" and "Winnie-the-Pooh" have always screamed confort film to me more than anything else, a precious gem
The reason Bubbles is out of place is because he's American. There's alot of symbolism in the movie about Hawaii's forced annexation into the US. The first song played in the movie, He Mele No Lilo invokes Lili'uokalani, Hawaii's last queen. Nani later invokes her again when she sings Aloha Oe to Lilo, which was written by Lili'uokalani
And from here on out we were blessed with the the perfection that was 625 Sandwich Stacker
just started watching but you guys are talking about the texture of the background. All the background stills of Lilo and Stitch were painted in watercolor, so they get that funky watery effect on rugged paper look :)
hope that helps
“It’s little and broken but still good” 🥲 always makes me tear up
Made me cry again just now watching this reaction😭
I die every time Stitch throws a book at the agent. Growing up, I've always wanted a pet like Stitch
There was some racism to be shown in Hawaii. Examples such as when Nani got fired and said that she wouldn't want to work at a fake luau. Those events were sacred and warped by Americans. Lilo doesn't really like American tourists like how she takes pictures of them and in adeleted scene, she scared a bunch of tourists with a fake tsunami siren
The original chase scene with spaceships was different, jumbas ship was supposed to be an actual airplane they had stolen but considering 9/11 was still somewhat fresh a plane flying around buildings was in bad taste so it was changed
I always really related to Lilo when I was a kid. It was one of my favorite movies growing up.
I really love Stitch he is very cute, and he makes a lot of friends so easily. And I bet for Stitch it's not fair that his molecular structure is to dense for water, it would good if Stitch wasn't afraid of water so he could swim.
I saw this in the theater with my sister - we both cry easily in general, and it *wrecked* us, haha. I remember resolutely staring at the screen at the end, because I knew if I looked at her even a little, I would full-on sob.
OK I didn't see anyone else share this but at 10:44
When lilo is hiding they originally had her hide in the dryer, but changed it at some point to a table and pizza box because hiding in dryers could be dangerous and do not want to encourage children to do the same. The old DVDs still have the dryer of course.
This comment section is really cool; I'm learning a ton of Lilo and Stitch facts today 👀
I can tell you’re watching the version on Disney Plus since they changed the dryer that Lilo hides in to a weird Pizza Box cabinet (they didn’t want kids getting ideas) but I still stand by they should have changed it to something more feasible. I loveeee this movies animation and soundtrack it’s unique to the Disney franchise, like Atlantis’ animation style.
Cobra didn't NEED to remind Lilo she bought Stitch, but he chose to. That's a character evolution
i always laugh at " he used to be a collie before he got ran over " hahahah
Something that was pointed out to me recently was why Lilo feeds Pudge the fish. Pudge controls the weather (according to Lilo) and her parents died after going for a drive in the rain.
You guys should watch the animated movie called cats dont dance. I think its a pretty underrated movie and I don't really know why. The animation is great, the songs are catchy and I think you'll enjoy the movies sense of humor.
love that movie!!! Darla is so good in that!!
That is a great movie! The music is beautiful especially the Tell Me lies song
This movie came out when I was 11 and I remember the Stitch MANIA that swept the world, and is somewhat still in happening to this day. All the Stitch merch, partnered products, even Cinderella's Castle in Disneyland (2005) was temporarily "vandalized" by Stitch to celebrate the opening of the ride "Stitch's Great Escape." The most recent Stitch push was "Stich Crashes Disney," (2021) a limited run of Stitch dolls donning patterns from different Disney movies through the ages.
The bizarre thing was that when this movie first came out there was VERY LITTLE Stitch merchandise! I was an adult, and me and my friends were looking for it, and you could find hardly ANY. I think the popularity (and positive critical reception) took Disney by surprise, they weren't expecting it to be a big hit, so they hadn't prepared the kind of merchandise and tie-in juggernaut that they usually do. Of course, they did rectify that later.
i dont know if someone told you it but lilos parents died in a storm and it was the one day where she didnt give the fish the peanut butter bread, so she fears now if she didnt give the fish peanut butter bread a storm breaks out and someone dies again she gives her self the fould of the dead of her parents
15:03 Ninetailedbrush: "Spot on disguises, I didn't even realize it was them"😂😂😂
A popular theory is that Lilo believed in Pudge the Fish cuz of what happened to her parents. They died on a rainy day, and Pudge controls the weather. You can kinda make the connection there
19:29 The way Stitch just stood there, probably thinking "This guy don't look friendly at all" 😂
Finally watched this and its seriously the cutest thing I've seen! I was crying cuz stitch is adorable and cuz the story was so sweet!
It was so cool to watch as a kid because they got so many things right. I’m from Hilo so I always point out that the stadium at the end is the Edith Kanakaole Tennis Stadium famous for hosting the annual Merrie Monarch festiva and where I graduated!
There’s a sketched up deleted scene where Lilo is messing with the tourists telling them about the tsunamis and to be prepared when the siren goes off. But it’s tsunami siren testing day and everyone freaks out. To this day I wish they kept the scene cause it’s so funny as someone who lives in Hawaii. But I can see why they would cut it lol.
Very unique film but one of the best. Definitely the most adorable child and creature in all of Disney. Every time Stitch talks about what Lilo and Nani taught him about family it gets me teary eyed. 😄
YES! My fav Disney movie!
It’s one of those movies that I pull out nearly once a year to rewatch it because the characters and the story make me laugh and cheer me up. Plus I also loved the animation of the physics like when she chased Lily upstairs. She felt like she had weight
Lilo and stitch is a masterpiece of a movie. I can't find anything bad in it I love everything about it. This and over the hedge are my favorite animated movies of all time. Great reaction.
To this day remains my favorite Disney movie.
Fun fact: the original climax scene had Stitch and the others going to an airport and hijack a plane instead of Jumba's ship. But than nine eleven happend and the directors already let disney know that they would changing.
i think him being CIA really explains why Bubbles was kind of following them. He would know stitch was an alien and he was keeping an eye on stitch as well as his case.
Bubbles was assigned to their case before Stitch crash landed, so it's unlikely. Bubbles comes to do a social services check, and later that night Stich crashes to Earth, the next day he's adopted. That night Nani loses her job, and the next morning Bubbles meets Stitch
The noise in the background is because theyre watercolor paintings which makes me appreciate this movie so much, a lot of style and artistic value on this
At the start, I think part of why all the aliens are disgusted by Stitch is because he is actually very different to their genetic makeup. Even though everyone looks weird to us since they are all aliens, the species of aliens shown in that society are all mostly inspired by marine life, whereas Stitch is visually more like a marsupial (koala), not a marine creature. Even their spaceships are definitely designed with marine or water-loving plants and animals in mind. Stitch really goes against the grain of the accepted and liked aesthetic in their society.
I came here to say the exact same thing. Also, it's important to keep in mind that Stitch's only instinct is to be as destructive as possible to civilization, therefore it's impossible for him to ever be a part of civilized society.
Do you know that the actress who plays the role of Lilo is the same actress who played Samara in The Ring?
Yes I knew that 😂
I saw this movie the summer before 5th grade. My 5th grade teacher that year was obsessed with the movie, she had already seen it 5 times in theaters (including once while on vacation in Hawaii) and decorated our classroom with Lilo and Stitch posters. So this movie heavily reminds me of 5th grade.
2:57 Jumba's explanation of Stitch already paying off. That is a brilliant way to works past dna targeting.
I love this movie! Named my dog after lilo and will be getting stitch hopefully next year.
I feel like there's good reasoning behind this being set in Hawaii. It's an island so stitch can't get too far, and its technically a part of America so cobra bubbles being CIA and being there makes sense
So what you're seeing for the background texture, is watercolor paint. The creator wanted it to be bright and colorful like a children's book. Because that was his original idea for Stitch. In the 80's he came up with Stitch as an idea, and toyed with it for quite some time before bringing it to the big screen.
Lilo and Stitch is my all time favorite Disney movie and I’m not ashamed to admit but the ending picture of Stitch being added onto Lilo’s photo of her, Nani and her parents never fails to make me cry. Fun fact that this movie is based on a book that one of the directors Chris Sanders wrote. I’m not sure if the book got released but it was an idea he had for a long time plus he also voiced Stitch too!
These two directors would work together to make How to Train Your Dragon which is why Toothless looks A LOT like Stitch ❤
grew up watching the movies and tv series the original one anyway and love them all
Random line delivery shout out: 13:30 😂
Enjoyed watching this for the first time with you guys! Think these 2 are my favorite fictional sisters, except for Sara and Becky from A Little Princess. 💯
By the way, I think I remember the backgrounds were done with watercolor. I strongly remember specifically watercolor.
I love friggin doing Stitchs voice and making him say crazy unbelievable shit xddd
Lilo and Stitch has always felt to me more like a Don Bluth movie than a Disney movie. Does that make sense? I can't really articulate why.
If Stitch was a Pokemon:
Type: Dark/Ground
Ability: Beserk-Attack stats increase after health is less than half.
Move Set: Crunch (Dark), Stomp (Ground), Seismic Toss (Fighting), and Cut (Normal).
